Car Z-Encyclopedia Summary in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot

A Car (自動車 Jidōsha) is a vehicle that is meant for land transportation. They are extremely common on Earth.

Overview[]

Bulma used to drive a car known as the 1980-1984 Renault 5 Turbo, but it was destroyed by Goku due to the latter mistaking it for a monster when they first met.

Yamcha's favorite vehicle is his car, the Mighty Mouse.[2]

In Yahhoy, Goku and Konkichi meet Fortuneteller Baba and Ghost Usher in their black car.

Commander Red has a car, although he has a chauffeur drive him around, and it also has a spring up seat, presumably as a means to make Commander Red feel taller.

General Blue stole Sourman's car and later a police cruiser when stuck at Penguin Village. The former car he initially had break down on him, with Obotchaman fixing it for him, as well as Blue developing an attraction to the boy robot, only for Blue to wreck the car while fighting the police. While not shown on-screen, he also implies that he somehow managed to steal a car shortly after stealing a plane during his trek from Egypt back to the Red Ribbon Army HQ when explaining to Red how he managed to return.

In a filler episode of the Trunks Saga, Goku and Piccolo are forced by Chi-Chi to take driving lessons; they drive another variant of simple cars, known as the hovercar, which are strikingly similar to Honda S800's.[3]

Bulma is seen driving a red car in the second Dragon Ball Z opening, "We Gotta Power" and the second Dragon Ball Z ending, "We Were Angels".

Trunks was driving a hovercar over to the Son family's house, although he ultimately put it back in the capsule, both because it was already running low on fuel, and he didn't actually need the car in the first place due to his ability to fly.

In Dragon Ball GT, it is revealed that Trunks owns a limousine.

In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, gasoline engine Cars can be found in cities and towns. There are two Z-Encyclopedia entries pertaining to them, one for the standard Car and the second for Police Car. According to the Car entry, though hovercars are in widespread use people still drive gasoline engine cars and that a standard driver's license allows one to drive both hovercars and gasoline cars. The Police Car entry reveals that although areas use high-speed hovercars to chase criminal, gasoline engine Police Cars are best suited for basic patrol duty.
